Detective Jacob Yarborough with the Russellville Police Department testified that on Sept. 24, Eubanks allegedly stole a jacket from A-1 Pawn where he also pawned some jewelry. Yarborough said on Sept. 25, he was called to a burglary at North Jonesboro Avenue. The victim told Yarborough someone broke into their house and stole a lockbox containing coins, jewelry, guns, banking cards and prescription medication while they were out of town. Eubanks lives next door to the victim and was seen pawning jewelry at A-1 Pawn the day before. Yarborough said Eubanks was arrested and in an interview admitted to taking part in the burglary, but claimed he was not the only one involved. The detective said three other persons were interviewed who all said only Eubanks took the items.

Eubanks gave the detective consent to search his house and went along with him. Upon search of Eubanks’ room, Yarborough said he found a lockbox with coins, two guns and prescription medication with the victim’s name on it, as well as a large drum and a light with a 2.5 foot marijuana plant growing inside.

District Court Judge Don Bourne ordered Eubanks to stay away from the victim.

According to a report provided by the Arkansas State Police, Smith and Winsbury were stopped for a traffic violation on Sept. 24. When the trooper made contact with the pair, he noticed a marijuana odor. The report stated the duo, from Trail, Ore., said they had been in Florida but gave conflicting stories as to how long they stayed. When asked by the trooper if they smoked marijuana, they said they didn’t smoke marijuana but the owner of the truck did.

During a probable cause search of the vehicle, the trooper found a bundle of money in a black bag on the back seat which Winsbury said was his $3,000 given by the owner for travel expenses, according to the report. Also found were 14 clear bags of marijuana on top of a tool box and two guns. Winsbury asked the trooper if he wanted to know the truth and proceeded to tell him they intended to sell the marijuana in Florida but were unable to sell it all, according to the report. He said there was a hidden compartment in the truck with more marijuana, the report stated.

A further search with DTF agents yielded 34 bags of marijuana found in a fuel tank for a total of 48 bundles weighing 58 pounds with a street value of $92,000. The report stated $4,054 in cash was also seized.
